Researchers from England, Holland and
Sweden have shown great interest in the experiment done by 5 girls from
northern Jutland in 9th grade.

They did an experiment for a biology test, so
brilliant, that it has attracted international attention among acknowledged
biologists and radiation experts.

The girls got really surprised by the sudden attention
from all around the world.

“It has been such a rollercoaster ride. I
still cannot believe it”, says Lea Nielsen, one of the girls.

“It’s totally overwhelming and exciting. It’s just not
something you experience every day”. added Mathilde Nielsen, another girl from
the group.

It all started because they found it difficult to
concentrate during the school day:

“We all think we have experienced difficulty
concentrating in school, if we had slept with the phone next to our head, and
sometimes also experienced having difficulty sleeping”, explains Lea Nielsen.

So here is what they did:

They took 400 cress seeds and placed them in 12 trays.
Then, they placed 6 trays in 2 separate rooms at the same temperature. They
gave the same amount of water and sun to all the trays for 12 days.

However, 6 of the trays were put next to two [Wi-Fi]
routers. Such routers broadcast the same type of radiation as an ordinary
mobile.

After 12 days what the result spoke was clear: cress
seeds next to the router did not grow, and some of them were even mutated or
dead.

“It is truly frightening that there is so
much affect, so we were very shocked by the result”,
says Lea.

Olle Johansson, a renowned professor at the Karolinska
Institute in Stockholm, is one of the impressed researchers.

He will now repeat the experiment with a Belgian
research colleague, Professor Marie-Claire Cammaert at the Université libre de
Bruxelles.

According to him, this is absolutely brilliant:

“The girls stayed within the scope of their
knowledge, skilfully implemented and developed a very elegant experiment. The
wealth of detail and accuracy is exemplary, choosing cress was very
intelligent, and I could go on”, he says.

He is not slow to send them an invitation to go on the
road:

“I sincerely hope that they spend their
future professional life in researching, because I definitely think they have a
natural aptitude for it. Personally, I would love to see these people in my
team!”

But the experiment proved something really huge.
Something the majority of the world does without knowing the consequences.

“None of us sleep with the mobile next to
the bed anymore. Either the phone is put far away, or it is put in another
room. And the computer is always off”, says Lea.

If your bed is close to a WiFi Router we
strongly advise to change the bed’s or the router’s location. And when it is
time to sleep, leave the technology where its place is.
